Though from a long line of doctors and alchemists, Xander's unlucky fate has lead him to become a host to the Fangs of Valmar alongside his more cheerful travel partner, Riley Arwell. He wanders the world with a grim outlook and even grimmer intentions, leaving behind a trail of dead in sacrifice to the Fangs. Much as he detests this task, Xander hates the idea of giving up to die even more. He's determined to survive no matter how many lives he has to steal for it... or how much of his own humanity he forsakes in the process. It's turned him cynical and bitter with little joy to show for the life he fights so hard to keep. When it comes time to make the kill, Xander wields dark sorcery that takes the form of a cursed scythe and an unholy garden. Some of the flowers he conjures are the very same that appear on the graves of the lives he's claimed.
